Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes

Gonna warm my bones

Gonna warm my bones

I got silence on my radio

Let the air waves flow

Let the air waves flow

Miss Patsy I looked in the mirror one morning decided I needed some work

So I got me a nose job, a shave, and a haircut to drive all them ladies berserk

 

 

Well, it's more of a folk song, maybe....

You get nothing for nothing If that's what you do

Turn around bitch I got a use for you

Besides, you got nothing better to do

And I'm bored...

I'd have to go with this entire song, I think it's absolutely hilarious...

 

 

I started as an altar boy, working at the church

Learning all my holy moves, doing some research

Which led me to a cash box, labeled "Children's Fund"

I'd leave the change, and tuck the bills inside my cummerbund

 

I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store

Laying tackless stripping, and housewives by the score

I loaded up their furniture, and took it to Spokane

And auctioned off every last naugahyde divan

 

I'm very well aquainted with the seven deadly sins

I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in

I'm proud to be a glutton, and I don't have time for sloth

I'm greedy, and I'm angry, and I don't care who I cross

 

I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt

I like to have a good time, and I don't care who gets hurt

I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me

I'll live to be a hundred, and go down in infamy

 

Of course I went to law school and took a law degree

And counseled all my clients to plead insanity

Then worked in hair replacement, swindling the bald

Where very few are chosen, and fewer still are called

 

Then on to Monte Carlo to play chemin de fer

I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair

I put my last few francs down on a prostitute

Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute

 

Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig

And headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig?

And fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide

Looking through the want ads sipping Fosters in the shade

 

I opened up an agency somewhere down the line

To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines

But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut

And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot

 

I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt

I like to have a good time, and I don't care who gets hurt

I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me

I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy

 

I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air

And landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear

I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals

I'll see you in the next life, wake me up for meals

Rock song? Well, I'll step outside the box and go with a central Texas guy, since our boy rbmcdonald decided to bless us with his presence. :wacko:

 

 

I wished I'd cashed my paycheck

Before I came to town

But I reached into my pocket

Found three twenties and a ten

It feels so good feelin' good again

I've been enjoying this song a lot lately -- Gone, by Pearl Jam

 

No more upset mornings

No more trying evenings

This American dream

I am disbelieving

 

When the gas in my tank

Feels like money in the bank

Gonna blow it all this time

Take me one last ride

 

For the lights of this city

They only look good when I'm speeding

Gonna leave 'em all behind me

Cause this time

 

I'm gone

 

Long gone

This time I'm letting go of it all

So long

Cause this time I'm gone

 

In the far off distance

As my tail-lights fade

No one thinks to witness

But they will someday

 

Feel like a question is forming

And the answers far

I'll be what I could be

Once I get of of this town

 

For the lights of this city

They have lost all feeling

Gonna leave 'em all behind me

Cause this time

 

I'm gone

 

Long gone

This time I'm letting go of it all

So long

Long gone, I'm letting go of it all

Cause this time I'm gone

 

If nothing is everything

If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

 

If nothing is everything

If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

 

I am gone

I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender

Said "Look man, come down here", he got down there

So what you want?

 

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when,

I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin

Gonna get high man I'm gonna get loose,

need me a triple shot of that juice

Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear

I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

And in the streets: the children screamed,

The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.

But not a word was spoken;

The church bells all were broken.

And the three men I admire most:

The father, son, and the holy ghost,

They caught the last train for the coast

The day the music died.

Robert Earl Keen "Feelin' Good Again"

In a song with many passages that make you smile, that one brings the biggest smile of all.

 

One of hundreds of great lines from perhaps the best lyricist in modern music:

 

"Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere"

 

New Lace Sleeves- Elvis Costello
